Taliban attack school in Peshawar, Pakistan
In the deadliest slaughter of innocents in Pakistan in years, Taliban gunmen attacked a military-run school on December 16, 2014 and killed 141 people — almost all of them students — before government troops ended the siege.
The massacre of innocent children horrified a country already weary of unending terrorist attacks. Pakistan's teenage Nobel Peace laureate Malala Yousafzai — herself a survivor of a Taliban shooting — said she was "heartbroken" by the bloodshed.
Even Taliban militants in neighboring Afghanistan decried the killing spree, calling it "un-Islamic."
